Gardens in Unexpected Places

Besides greening derelict urban spaces, guerrilla gardens offer city dwellers a moment’s surprise or a break from the familiar, when they happen upon a garden that wasn’t there the day before.
Brooklyn-based artist Edina Tokodi with collaborator József Vályi-Tóth, employ “guerrilla tactics” to prompt New York City residents to reconsider their relationship with nature.
In the last few years, Tokodi and Vályi-Tóth, through their collective Mosstika Urban Greenery, have created a series of public artworks incorporating plants.
In Tokodi’s words: “… we aim to give green guerrilla tactics a new twist by creating works meant to be touched, in turn aiming to touch the souls of all that pass by.”
